I’m Annabelle, or Anna-chan, as I’m more commonly known by my friends here in Japan! I’m a 23-year-old originally from Wellington, New Zealand. I was accepted onto the JET Programme and arrived in August 2013. I like to share the whirlwind of experiences I have on my blog, in the hopes of inspiring others to come travel or teach in Japan!
